Somerset, KY
I was walking home from class and I see this bright flash in the sky, and it kind of just lingered there for a few seconds. There were cars driving by so they might have saw but I have no way of contacting them to know for sure. Then it was like it spotted me. Like it knew that I had saw it so it started circling me high in the air like a vulture would. I am a professor at the college, so I have heard some of my colleagues talk about things like this. So it circled me for a while an it mesmerized me. Then it was like I couldn't move. Then the next thing I know it's like I was dropped from the sky and I looked at my phone and it was roughly seven minutes later but it felt like no time at all. I knew it had been that amount of time because I had checked my phone just before I had saw the object. It couldn't have been an aircraft and I thought it was one of those stupid drones but I don't think it was on behalf of the sudden lapse in time that seemed to happen.

Fairfield, CA
While letting my dog outside, I noticed a green light hovering in the sky to the southwest. I watched it for a minute, wondering if maybe it was a plane. But it just stayed in the same spot, so it couldn't have been a plane. Plus the light was solid and not blinking. After a minute I realized I left my phone in the house. So, I ran inside and grabbed it and started to record footage. Keep in mind, it's night outside and I'm using a phone for video. It was hard to keep it steady due to the zoom level that I used on top of it being on the completely black background of the sky. It was making strange sideways and up and down motions, which is hard to tell on the video due to a lack of reference. I watched it for another 2 minutes then went inside to grab a witness. By the time we got back outside it was gone. I also realize for some reason the phone did not capture the green of it that I saw. The green that I saw was as green as a green traffic light. I would estimate its height at around 6000 feet and around 5-6 miles from me. The blinking in the video was when it would go behind a power line.

Corinth, MS
My friend and I were watching the International Space Station pass over Corinth at 8:34 p.m. Shortly thereafter, we noticed another star like object in the sky overhead. It continued for some time after the ISS had completely moved out of viewing. At first we thought it might be a star, but it was moving in sweeping circular motions, then darting around eradically, speeding up and then showing down. When it was not moving, it seemed to be stationary in one spot. It was too far off to see the shape or size, but it was as bright as Jupiter to the south. The GPS coordinates were approximately 34 degrees, 57', 39 " N and 88 degrees, 39', 6" W.

Hey, a few years ago I was sitting on the sofa. It was approximately, 2pm I looked into the hall when standing at about 6’5 was a pale white being! The only thing it said was “Don’t Move” pointed and a red beam hit my chest. I remained calm and it left. I’ve recently moved back to where it all happened. I just want to this to go in record in case I ever go missing. I just want to add I’ve rarely ever cared about meeting aliens.

Fortuna, AZ
I'm not sure how this fits in but the experience has stayed with me; and I had to post something. I am a long haul driver and was travelling east on Interstate 8, just east of Fortuna, Arizona. Having checked the clock, it was 3:45 AM when I alerted my partner to the presence of three or four individuals standing in the middle of the traffic lane. After sounding the truck horn, I began to slow our rig. Given the fact that the area is well known for human smuggling and is dangerous to travel, I wondered if, perhaps, we should keep going. But, when it became apparent that at least three of the individuals were wearing some kind of uniform, I decided to stop along the right shoulder. Nevertheless, my second driver emerged from the sleeper with the shotgun that we carry. Both of us agreed that neither of us was going to step from the cab, and we kept the engine idling. Three individuals walked slowly toward me, toward the driver's side of the cab. At about fifteen feet, I could tell that all three of them were suited, if you will, in some sort of gear. I wondered if the Marines, from the nearby Marine Corps air station, had crashed and were going to ask us for help. As I lowered the driver's window, the shortest of the three, bundled in heavy white gear, with what looked like white armor around the chest, and a partial faceplate that emerged from below the chin, said to me, in perfect English, "Not to worry, we have a minor situation." He (it) motioned with his left arm toward the distance, off the highway. It was strange because neither my partner nor I saw anything as we approached the group but, sure enough, something was putting out intense red flames, maybe fifty feet off the right shoulder from where we were parked. Before I could say anything, a triangle-shaped wedge of the landscape to our right, with the flames at the base of the triangle, rose up and sliced through the truck cab. For lack of a better description, I felt like I was looking at some kind of image--as it came through the cab. I mean, the individual who spoke to me appeared first on the left side near me, and then appeared on the right side, the raised side, then on both sides, which appeared raised. My throat was so dry, my stomach in knots; honestly, I felt like I was going to heave. I figured we had it. Three individuals, two in white, wearing helmets, and one who appeared burned or blackened and without a helmet, appeared in the image to our right, as they made their way around chunks of rock, walking towards our cab. There was a lot of communication, like radio, between them, or between somebody. The one who had spoken to me, after I had lowered the window, now sounded metallic. So I turned once again towards the voice, to my left again, toward the open window and he (or it) wasn't there. I turned toward my partner, in the right front seat, who was still cradling the shotgun, nothing. I mean, it was black. It was perfectly silent. There were no flames off to the right in the distance. Our clock showed 5:15 AM, only the entire encounter felt like it had lasted fifteen minutes or so. I don't know what to claim. I stopped to assist several entities that appeared to be projected from somewhere; and I still feel nauseous. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Canton, OH
Walking to the local grocery near me on a warm sunny day I happened to glance skyward something I do alot of,"sky watching" I noticed what I will say was an atmospheric anomaly there was what seemed to be a bow moving across the sky I could see through it and it seemed like a ripple on a lake. Then as if due to the angle of it and the sunlight it Disappeared. Or maybe it was like a bubble. Just weird I have seen other things but this was different could be nothing...?

Goffstown, NH
Saw a flashing light in the sky from my window. The object flew by just over the tree line with no sound. A few minutes later another one was spotted. This time it was flying even lower. I could make out multiple lights on it, none like I've seen before.

Middletown, CT
I have a great view of lamentation mountain from my back patio and am a regular star gazer with or without telescope multiple nights a week. I was sitting out on patio on Saturday the tenth, watching the stars, and noticed a strange thing. My house is directly on the flight path to Bradley airport, so I know the regular tracks of planes. In addition, the sky is dark and clear enough to see the space station overhead on most nights as it passes. I noticed what at first took for a satellite passing overhead as it had that pinprick of light effect. White/blue and very dim. Then I noticed another light behind it following it. Very similar in size and color but it did not move in a straight line. This object weaved back and forth in a fluid like manner while following the first object across the night sky almost like a dance. This occurred as it went south west to north east over head lasting about a minute before I lost both objects behind some thin clouds. It definitely was not a plane as the objects were very fast and the second object weaved about in ways a plane couldn't, totally silent. Definitely fascinated me even though every hair on my body stood up as I watched it happen.

I'm late reporting this. It happened either June 10 or the 11th. I saw a black dot in the far distance moving right and then disappeared when a plane from Midway airport was closing in on it. I tried to film it but the camera was picking up too much brightness. I don't know what is was. Today is June 17th and was just hearing alot of sightings happening with Mothman lately in Chicago, so I thought I would report this.

As I was looking at the sky to the south, I observed a red light, with a flashing green or blue light, traveling from the south and heading northward. At first, I thought it could be an airplane, but the red light was too large and bright. It traveled in a straight line and stopped for a few seconds and remained stationary. It then moved west a few degrees, before continuing on the original trajectory northward. It then stopped again and remained stationary for about 10 minutes. This location was around 15 degrees to the east of the planet, Jupiter. This was a partly cloudy night and the object was below the cloud ceiling as it was never obscured by the clouds. I tried observing through binoculars but was too jerky to get a clear sighting. It did, however, appear to be 2 red light with blinking blue or green lights through the binoculars. There was no sound at all. It then started to move slowly back south, would stop for a while, then proceed. It seemed to pick up speed, as it traveled south out of view.

As the object neared, a second object (same color) appeared from the same direction. Shortly thereafter, a third object appeared. They appeared to be ‘globes’ and moved in a somewhat fast rate of speed. There was no noise. Their movement was very ‘smooth’ (no quick movements). Object 1 traveled towards us and, at one point, began ascending straight up (it disappeared). Objects 2 and 3 passed the house (to our left look at the objects). As they passed, I noticed what appeared to be a single light (underneath) the object. I could make out a black shape (outline from the light) but could not distinguish what it was. That is, they flew low enough for me to see that it did not have a bank of lights. I am confident in saying that it was not a plane as I did not see wings. The light was bright and did not flicker or pulse. I have seen and heard drones when deployed to Afghanistan. This was not, in my opinion, a drone. I am forwarding a picture captured of object 2 and 3 from our deck. I have other pictures but the size of the file would be too big to email. These were taken from my android phone (Samsung). Note that although it appears to be a ‘globe’ it is my sense that what you see is the light (under?) the object. I cannot confirm that it was, in fact, a roundish shape. Both ((wife's name deleted)) and I observed this. End of report.

Colorado Springs?, CO
While driving from work (Highlands Ranch, CO, to my apartment in Colorado Springs, CO, while stopped I took a picture of the Sun descending behind the Rocky Mountains, fairly common thing for me to do, on the evening of 06/08/17 at 2028. I am sure at the time I didn't notice anything unusual or would have thought more about it, so at that moment it was just a sunset. I transferred my pictures from my Iphone SE to my laptop and never thought about it, as I was working a lot of hours at the post office. Well yesterday (06/19/2019) I am going through my pictures on my laptop and came across a very odd one. Towards the sunset there is a large dark parallel column from the clouds to the ground. I zoomed in and at the top there appears to be a single stationary object in the cloud, silver with a very flat top. Thought it might be just part of the cloud, but never seen a cloud like that. There is nothing that was on the window of my car that would have caused t! his or on my phone. Not sure why but I took a second picture zooming in on that area and there is no black parallel column. Attaching both pics for you to look at. I was afraid to show or tell anyone my suspicion cause, I didn't want to be looked like I was crazy. Only showed one other fellow photographer and she said it looked weird too.

Okay, so, I was in my room (which is located on the second floor of my house) watching a UFO documentary on YouTube via my PS4, when outside of my window I saw an orange orb just still, not moving. I was watching a UFO documentary because, back in May, I had creepy dreams about being abducted by ufos and kept waking up to my window glowing Green light, and feeling a sense of sleep paralysis. My window would also sometimes containing a bunch of computerized 0s and 1s, so I was doing my own version of "research" haha. At first I got nervous, and tried to use deduction to figure out whether it was simply a plane, a rocket, a weather balloon, or something unidentified, but then it began to act strange. It stayed still for a good amount of minutes, which I couldn't make sense of, but took the opportunity to take a picture anyways with my phone (my hands shook out of nervousness so it came out looking odd instead of orb shaped). All of a sudden though I saw some blinking planes (I assume they were planes) heading towards it, about two of them at first, and the orange orb started moving DIRECTLY UPWARDS. Not diagonal, just upwards, which made me think of a rocket for a second. That's when I took my phone again and started recording it, but my hands kept moving and I was breathing hard out of nervousness so that also came out bad. Eventually it passed the planes, went over my house and when I stood outdoors, I noticed it no longer looked orange, but instead, was hard to see and blinking. Then it went over the trees and vanished, followed by 4 planes. Once it went over my house I took like 7-10 secs to get outside so it could've vanished then and afterwards what I saw blinking was one of the now 4 planes following the same direction, but I don't know what to make of it. The video I took had mysteriously ended up in my email trash bin, but maybe I hit something by accident and caused that bit. I have further seen this orange orb 2 or 3 more times in July around the same general location each time, and someone else in my room witnessed the last time with me, but I haven't bothered to try and get more pictures. Also I am not saying this orb that keeps coming back is an alien, but it to me is unidentified.

Little Neck, NY
Sunday morning, June 4th, at appx. 8:30 AM, I was out for a walk to pick up some breakfast, and I happened to see out the left corner of my eye, a shiny type of objet which appeared to be reflecting the suns light looking eastward (towards NYC) and at first I didn't think much of it, until after I noticed another plane traveling the opposite direction. When I saw the other plane pass, the object appeared to be moving closer in my direction, & it seemed to me at second glance it may be one of those planes carrying an advertising banner - heading out to Jones beach, because I saw what appeared to be something wavy behind the object. As I stared at it a bit more, because it seemed unusual to me, I realized the object seemed to almost pause in its flight, and that's when I realize there were in fact two objects, and one appeared to be doing what I can only describe as a kabuki dance around the other object, and that's when I started seeming some orange color which appeared to be emanating from the bottom of these objects. At this point I took my cell phone out of my pocket & tried to capture some photo's and movies. I had to move to an area where the sun wouldn't quite be in my eyes because the object was west, but the sun was glaring off my back (as it was still early in the morning) and it was hard to zoom in and focus on the objects, but I did manage to capture some videos and a few stills of the objects. Upon reviewing the pictures I took, I realized how not so great cell phone cameras (at least my Samsung Note 5) seems to be a focusing on somewhat distant objects with an 8X zoom, but I do have some videos and still frames I'm happy to send along, or will attach to this report if provided. I looked at the objects slowly move across the sky from north to south slowly, seemingly doing this circle around one another routine, until at one point right before they vanished, they seemed to either merge, or one of them just vanished, and after about 8 or 9 minutes, all of a sudden, they were gone. I did not see the objects suddenly take off, it's as if they just vanished! Very strange sighting, especially since this was early on a Sunday morning, on a sunny morning.

We spoke with the source of the report and he sounded to us to be sincere. However, we have attempted to contact him again, and he does not return telephone messages. We suspect that the report is a hoax. PD

June 2, 2017 - 10:30 pm, a white light just appears in the northwest sky, it travels at a moderate speed. Traveling to the southwest. The object did not have blinking lights, just a solid white light. Other airplanes could be seen at higher altitude, and farther away distance. My fiance and I watched the object travel to a 3:00 oclock postion to us, and suddenly it just vanished. June 3, 2017 at 10:45 pm, the same object appears more to an east, but still northwest from us traveling towards the southeast for three to four minutes before it vanishes. On June 4, 2017 at 10:50pm, the same object just appears in the northwest sky, even more to the east than the night before. Traveling for three minutes before it vanishes. Grand Junction, Colorado.

Two extremely low flying aircraft went over my house at 7:35PM on 6/1/2017. They were so low that it shook my entire house! The sound was immense. They had to be extremely large aircraft. They were over before I could get to the window to see, but it was so loud and rumbling that I truly thought they were going to crash somewhere close. I see and hear aircraft ALL the time due to be close to BWI and other small airports in the area... NEVER have I had any of them sound like that or shake my house like that. Thought someone should be aware. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Colorado Springs, CO
Seen in the morning sky above Pikes Peak, from the stationary Camera that provides an online picture every 60 seconds. A halo connected by two white dots. Minutes later it had moved upward, then sideways, then downward. Photos indicate a curved, multi-colored object, which could be a kite, we believe. An alternative explanation might be a droplet of water on the lens of the camera, giving rise to a refracted image of a parked railroad car. PD

I was watching all the cotton flying around the sky and I noticed a glimmer. I saw the object in the distance, and assumed it was a plane or some thing identifiable. It faded away then started twikling again. It didn't move or float away and stayed there about an hour. It appeared to twinkle like a metallic reflection every 30 seconds. Kind of like a star in the day. I grabbed some binoculars, but it was very shaky and hard to focus. Seemed to be above the haze layer. I was in Renton aiming in the direction of seattle. I am attaching a photo I took. It looks just like the sky with nothing in it, but if you zoom in right in the middle of the pic, eventually you can see the black dot where it was.
